Calystegia × Scania
''Calystegia'' (bindweed, false bindweed, or morning glory) is a genus of about 25 species of flowering plants in the bindweed family Convolvulaceae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution in temperate and subtropical regions, but with half of the species endemic to California. They are annual or herbaceous perennial twining vines growing 1–5 m tall, with spirally arranged leaves. The flowers are trumpet-shaped, 3–10 cm diameter, white or pink, with (in most species) a sometimes inflated basal epicalyx. The genus bears much similarity to a related genus ''Convolvulus'', and is sometimes combined with it; it is distinguished primarily by the pollen being smooth, and in the ovary being unilocular. Some of the species, notably ''Calystegia sepium'' and '' C. silvatica'', are problematic weeds, which can swamp other more valuable plants by climbing over them, but some are also deliberately grown for their attractive flowers. ''Calystegia'' species are eaten by th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Calystegia Sepium
''Calystegia sepium'' (hedge bindweed, Rutland beauty, bugle vine, heavenly trumpets, bellbind, granny-pop-out-of-bed and many others) is a species of flowering plant in the family Convolvulaceae. It has a cosmopolitan distribution, subcosmopolitan distribution throughout temperate regions of the North and South hemispheres. Description Hedge bindweed is an herbaceous perennial plant, perennial that twines in a counter-clockwise direction to a height of up to . The leaves are arranged alternately on the spiralling stem; they are dull green above and paler below, simple and sagittate (arrowhead shaped), long and broad. The flowers are white, sometimes with pink windows, produced from late spring to the end of summer (between July and September in northern Europe). The buds are enclosed by large ( long), ovate-lanceolate, green bracts, bracteoles with keels and burgundy margins; during anthesis they do not (or scarcely) overlap. The open flowers are trumpet-shaped, diameter. Aft ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Calystegia Silvatica
''Calystegia silvatica'' (large bindweed) is the largest species of Calystegia, bindweed and is a strong rampant climber. It is native to southern Europe but has been introduced to many other areas because it is an attractive garden plant. ''Calystegia silvatica'' subsp. ''fraterniflora'' (Mack. & Bush) Brummitt (short-stalked false bindweed) is native to North America. It has large, arrow-shaped leaves and showy white trumpet-shaped flowers up to 9 centimeters in diameter. It is considered a weed in some areas where it has escaped plant, escaped cultivation and now grows wild. It spreads easily via hardy rhizomes. There are several subspecies. Description Large bindweed is a Glabrousness, glabrous herbaceous perennial plant, perennial that twines in a counter-clockwise direction to a height of up to 5 m. The leaves are arranged alternately on the spiralling stem on petioles up to 15 cm. The leaves are dull green above and paler below, simple and sagittate (arrowhead shaped) ...
